Hardcover. Condizione: Fair. Translated by Mr. Dryden ('And several other Eminent Hands'). There are 25 listed (image) b/w engravings ('Adorned with sculptures'); plus a frontispiece portrait of the Rt. Hon. Charles, Earl of Dorset and Middlesex (image). The dedication to his lordship takes up 116 pages. Paneled calf boards with ribbed spine. Condition (external): the leather is very rubbed in places; especially along the book's spine. Curled corners. The main condition-related aspect of this publication is the looseness of the upper board's connection with the book block. It remains attached but only by a thread of binding material. Condition (internal): as one would anticipate for a book almost three centuries old: i.e. tanning throughout with intermittent foxing; with these effects slightly more evident on the preliminary and final pages. pp. cxi, 296. 18mo. Fifth addition. Printed for J. Tonson. More information/photos on request. Please note that, depending on destination, we may request a payment to cover any extra shipping & postage charges.
